Hi,
I have a button that runs a dashboard extender business rule.
Between the 4 server options available, which one should I choose when, and should I even care about choosing the right one (i.e. when does it make a difference)?
Thank you

@AndreaF - You can choose any server I would recommend using General or Data Management because the Consolidation is used for Calculation & Consol, Stage for Data Integration Load etc... Hope this helps.

OneStream can be laid out so that separate servers do different things. This is only necessary in large environments; in practice, often a single server will cover multiple roles.
Depending on what you're actually doing in your extender, it might make sense to direct execution to this or that type of server.
As I mentioned, in practice a single server can carry out both Consolidation and Stage tasks, so even if you select different options your rules might end up running on the same server. However, from a best-practice perspective, it still makes sense to declare a preference where it makes sense, simply in order to future-proof your dashboards.
